Beef Anyone?

It's time! We're once again offering packages of great-tasting, humanely-raised beef for those readers who live in Minnesota.

(NOTE ADDED 11/19. We've almost sold all the packages. Lordy, that was fast. I need to take inventory tomorrow for a better estimate of the number of packages we actually have. If we still have some left, I'll delete this note!)
Here are the details:

The farm: We make sure the steers have 18 months of natural living---outside, with shelter available in the winter, and shade during the heat of the summer.

The steers:  They were bottle-fed as calves, with a bit of grain. Then it was nothing but grass all summer and fall. Then they ate hay during the winter, with a small amount of grain for energy during the cold. Since May of this year, all they ate was fresh grass. No growth hormones given. No non-theraputic antibiotics.

The beef: Tender and great-tasting. You'll find it hard to go back to the beef you buy in stores.

The package: We sell the beef in 25-pound packages. Half of the package is roasts and steaks, the other half is ground beef. Additional ground beef will be available for purchase. 
 

The price: The package is $125, plus a $25 processing fee, for a total of $150. (We spread 1/2 of the processing fee among our customers; we pay the other half.)

Ordering:  Call to place your order, or respond by email. Let us know when you're available to come pick up your meat, and we'll set something up--weekdays or weekends---it's up to you! The farm is 60 miles SE of the Twin Cities, on the way to Rochester. (Sorry--we don't ship meat. Just too expensive.)

Feel free to contact us with any questions! Email us at info@risingmoonfarm.com

Dang Catherine, you had me at "Grass Fed," then lost me when you mentioned that you don't deliver! What's a New Yawker to do?

Hey, off-topic, but whatever happened to your Inkslinger blog? I was loving that along with this one!

Yeah, sorry. NY is dairy country---gotta be some farmers who are raising dairy steers for meat.

As for Inkslingers, I folded that into this one---two blogs, Facebook, newsletter, etc. were driving me a little batty. :-)

I try to have a post that focuses on writing, but I can see it's been awhile. Thanks for the nudge...

Love your blog, regardless of subject! Keep up the good work. Now, off to look for local organic meat :)
